White wine
White wine at T.J.'s Fine Wine and Liquor in Brandon, Mississippi: what it is, how to choose it, and the brands on our shelf.
Crisp, cold, and easier to pair than people think.
How to choose
Crisp or creamy. Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio are crisp and lemony. Chardonnay can be either, depending on the oak.
Sweet is a real answer. Moscato and Riesling are on the shelf for a reason and they are excellent with spicy food.
Serve it colder than you think, and take it out of the fridge ten minutes before you pour if it is a nicer bottle.

Common questions
- What makes a wine white?
- White wine is usually fermented without prolonged contact with grape skins. It can be made from white or dark-skinned grapes, provided the juice is separated quickly, and may be aged in stainless steel, neutral vessels or oak.
- How do I choose a white wine?
- Decide whether you want crisp or round, dry or sweet, and oaked or unoaked. Sauvignon blanc and pinot grigio often emphasize freshness, while chardonnay can range from lean and unoaked to fuller and oak-aged.
- How cold should white wine be?
- Most white wine should be chilled but not icy. Lighter styles can be served colder, while fuller or oak-aged whites show more aroma after a few minutes out of the refrigerator. If it tastes muted, let it warm slightly.
